"This brochure deals in the main with Hitler's charge of "Jewish Bolshevism" and the several allegations growing out of this opprobious label, namely: the questionable loyalty and patriotism of the Jew to his country, and as Hitler states, "exerting a degrading and contaminating influence upon German culture." [...] We believe that the following pages prove convincingly the falsity of Hitler's insidious charges. We believe also that the factual information presented will result in an intelligent understanding of the problem to the end that the "lie," the chief weapon of the Nazis,will be forever discredited." - from the Foreword.

In the Cambridge Musical Texts and Monographs series. "Johann Friedric Agricola published his Introduction to the Art of Singing in Germany in 1757. It brought to a German readerships the 1723 treatise of the Italian singing teacher and castrato, Tosi, to which Agricola added his own running commentary. The Introduction was recognized as invaluable not only for teachers and their pupils but also for advanced singers and professionals. Charles Burney, for example, described it as 'the best book on the subject in German' and hailed the author as 'the best singing master in Germany.' This present edition, translated with introduction and annotations by the celebrated singer Julianne Baird, makes Agricola's work available for the first time in English. Tosi's work was the first basic treatise on singing: it codified important aesthetic principles and gave practical directions for the singers of his time. Agricola, a pupil of J.S. Bach, addressed the style of singing at the court of Frederick the Great, and brought Tosi's work up-to-date. His commentaries are so extensive that the Introduction stands on its own as an important document in the history of performance practice." Very good in dustjacket. 45.00

Pp [i ]-xxiii,(1),1-231,(1). 8vo, grey cloth, black lettering to spine. “This book is a case-study. In the laboratory of modern history, Carl Amery tests the hypothesis of collusion and corruption in the relations between the RomanCatholic Church and the government of post-Nazi Germany. The principals in the affair are scrutinized closely, their words are cited at length, their acts are weighed in the balance of Christian ethics, and in the end Church and Churchmen are found wanting. The initial assumption of the experiment is proved valid: the institutional Church cravenly subjected itself to the powers of this world.” (from the dj). Contents : Foreword by Professor J. M. Cameron. 1. Power and powerlessness: The paradox of German Catholicism. 2. German Catholicism and its milieu. 3. The milieu's system of values and virtue. 4.
